A day of positives and signalling changes coming… SIV for TRICEPS TVNS for upper limb after stroke with these fab clinicians and now onto presenting the new SSNAP Audit inpatient dataset. New year, new projects, new goals to achieve

Soon to be opening at Dorset HealthCare Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust too for any west Dorset folk! Great to have full coverage of Dorset for this fantastic trial

💪💪Very excited to have our 1st TRICEPS participant set up with her device and therapy programme today 💪💪 love it when trials work with team improvement priorities- this helps us push forward RTP and UL OCMs as well as exciting trial of TVNS Dorset Stroke and Neuro Service (DSNS) Dorset HealthCare

A recent summary of our first few months of being an ICSS

Progress since Feb: Personalised care audit ✅ Personalised care coaching funding approved ✅ Reps audit ✅ shows 📈 in recording & reps 1st 6/52 stroke reviews conducted by the team ✅ (previously acute) 1st recruit into TRICEPS trial Next- 2 wk UL intensity clinic next week

We still need a few more people here. To clarify, this is a free programme with weekly on line meetings so no travel involved! Part of a research study. Shirley Thomas Fiona Jones Stroke Research

First upper limb intensity clinic running now until 4th may in Weymouth. Next cohort in September/October. Will pick venue depending on cohort and transport options for those involved. #reps #implementation

Thank you Sally Devenport & London ACPIN for an excellent webinar this morning using educational theory to increase self practice in rehab; lots to consider including our patients’ understanding & ensure we offer structured, supportive & rewarding opportunities to practice 💪 🎯

2 week programme- 10am -3pm face to face (M,W,F) with telerehab sessions (T&Th). Starting point: Pt1- has shoulder only (+spasticity) Pt 2 + 3 have shoulder and elbow (+ spasticity) Pt 4- has full movement but ataxic++ Pt 5- has shoulder, elbow, wrist but no hand

Summary of wk1 intensive upper limb group: 4 pts have achieved a collective, incredible 24,265 reps so far!!! All have started to use their arm in daily life, have had at least 3 rounds of exercise progressions and are still smiling! Here’s to week 2!

And that’s a wrap! Wk 2 of our intensive UL group is complete with over 40,000 reps . Today we said goodbye to our inspiring participants with 10 x 2 armed hugs, 3 fist bumps, 14 rolled, cut & filled mine pies, 1 WhatsApp group, some tears & meaningful jumps on outcome measures💪

Looking forward to our first open gym in Weymouth next week. Soon to be rolled out across our area, with Sherborne & Bridport coming next. Open to those predominantly on slower stream rehab pathway or who have finished formal therapy who want their treatment reviewed or tweaked

Our first community open gym took place today- 2 staff, room full of stroke survivors and rehab companions (up to 5 years post stroke). Varied practice from getting off the floor, estim (2 different applications) exercise bike, fatigue review, writing, balance and upper limb.

Another happy trial participant randomised and set up today with vagal nerve stimulation (for upper limb) and two expressions of interest sent for involvement in new stroke rehab trials too. A good research day is a happy day for all of us!

Thank you Everyone Active for helping us achieve this. It’s so important for people following stroke to feel comfortable and confident to use local leisure facilities to improve their health. We look forward to working together across our patch
